| − | Anderson's ''The Conquest of Texas: Ethnic Cleansing in the Promised Land, 1830-1875,'' was published in 2005 by the [[University of Oklahoma Press. The book repudiates traditional historians, such as Walter Prescott Webb and Rupert N. Richardson, who viewed the settlement of Texas by the displacement of the native populations as a healthful and inevitable development. Anderson writes that at the time of the outbreak of the [[American Civil War]], when the Texas population was nearly 600,000, the still new state was "a very violent place. . . .
